Agree. Tennie is working on 13… slower, grayer, but was never a dog with a
lot of drive. Perfect for me. Same diet for years. Today she is in charge
of getting my trees watered and making sure the goats, pigs, chickens and
ducks from next door stay there, the passersby keep passing by. Just looks
at them and they keep walking :-)
Her two surviving siblings are moving slower, but still keeping their owners
company.

Margo at soon to be 16, still eats the same diet, takes no meds and I would
hate to rock the boat. I am a firm believer in if it isn't broke don't try
to fix it. The only cure for old age is death. Today she is in charge of
planting flowers Lord is she picky :0) I think their money would be better
spent finding out what genes leads to such a long life span. I believe it is
Margo's drive that keeps her going. We all could take a lesson from her. I
know it is genetic because her son Vic looks maybe 4 and has the same
drive. He looks more like his half German mom than his American dad. It
seems that all of the dogs I bred using those lines live way past 13.

Do you believe Old Dogs Rule?
Senior and geriatric dogs need specialized care and the AKC Canine Health
Foundation (CHF) aims to fund cutting-edge research to help our four legged
friends grow old gracefully.
Most veterinarians consider a dog a senior at age 8 and geriatric at age 12.
Dogs who have reached these stages have special health needs.
I had lot of dogs live to be 15 years of age. I truly believe it has to do
with CONTENTMENT, DIET, & ACTIVITIES FAR MORE
THAN ANY bloodline. I am not just talking GSDs here, but other breeds I had
along the way. One poodle was 18 years of age when
she died. I cared for a wolf who lived to be 17 years of age. Norma no L

You can help CHF fund research for senior dogs.
We have established the Senior Dog Health & Wellness Initiative to provide
grants to researchers who are working to keep our senior
dogs active and healthy.
With your support we can fund research that will:
• Stimulate novel approaches to senior dog healthcare
• Help us better understand a dog's aging immune system
• Prevent and/or manage common health concerns for older dogs like
degenerative cardiac disease or kidney disease
• Improve cognitive function in older dogs
• Allow our beloved older dogs to live longer and happy lives
Help dogs not just live longer, but live well!
Join in our commitment to senior and geriatric dogs. Your donation to the
Senior Dog Health & Wellness Initiative will help more dogs
become members of the senior crowd, giving us more time to enjoy our beloved
dogs.
Thanks for your support!
